“…Based on previous clinical observations of corneal perforations during topical fluoroquinolone treatment, we decided to evaluate the comparative effects of various fluoroquinolone eye drops on the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in cornea. METHODS: Eighty female Lewis rats were divided into two experimental groups: intact and wounded corneal epithelium. …”
